We are profoundly grateful for President Biden’s decades of dedicated service to our country. In the past four years alone, his contributions to Ohio and the nation will have lasting effects for generations. President Biden’s leadership has been instrumental in guiding us through challenging times and fostering progress and unity. Even with changes at the top of the ticket, Ohio’s mission remains steadfast. We are committed to re-electing Senator Sherrod Brown, supporting our democratic candidates for Congress and the Statehouse, and making Ohio the only state to flip its State Supreme Court. This monumental task requires unwavering dedication, and we are ready to rise to the occasion. One thing remains constant in the presidential race: Donald Trump. Let us be clear—Donald Trump is a 34-time convicted felon. He is a dangerous figure who would seize power as a “dictator on day one”. Trump’s presidency is a threat to the very fabric of our democracy, endangering the principles that make our nation strong and free. Ohio will be at the forefront of this fight. We will mobilize, we will fundraise, we will educate, and we will vote. Together, we can ensure that our state and our country move forward with leaders who embody the principles of justice, equality, and democracy. This is our moment to stand firm, to be bold, and to protect the future of our nation.

“As an elected Biden Delegate to the Democratic National Convention, it will be my honor to vote to nominate Kamala Harris as the Democratic Nominee for President of the United States.”

“Vice President Harris has proven throughout her time in public service that she has the experience to move our country forward and finish the job that the Biden-Harris administration has started. She never backs down when it comes to fighting for workers in Ohio and has been a tireless advocate for abortion rights. I can’t think of a better candidate to take on a 34-time convicted felon who is trailed by the constant threat of more legal action. 

That’s why I fully endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for President of the United States and I’m ready to get to work.”
